Campofelice Camping Village

Alan Rogers Review of Campofelice Camping Village

Considered by many to be the best family campsite in Switzerland, Campofelice Camping Village borders Lake Maggiore and the Verzasca estuary, where the site has its own marina. There are 712 generously sized touring pitches on flat grass on either side of hard access roads. Mostly well-shaded, all pitches have electricity connections (13A, 360 Europlug), and 376 also have water, drainage and TV connections. A particular area is reserved for small tents. Pitches near the lake cost more (these are not available for motorhomes until September).

It's a little more expensive than other sites in the area, but excellent value for the range and quality of the facilities. The surrounding scenery is sublime, with sensational views from the gently shelving beach and the cycle trails into Locarno.

A free shuttle bus runs to Locarno ferry terminal. The beach by the lake is sandy, long and wider than the usual lakeside ones, and has now been extended, with well kept lawns for sunbathing. It shelves gently so that bathing is safe for children. Within a demarcated area are floating trampolines and rafts, and a specially marked section for toddlers. A slipway may be used for small boats and dinghies, with canoe and pedalo hire on site. A giant marquee caters for entertainments of all kinds and is used as a playground in wet weather.
